Gaming Metroidvania Games

[EliteKill]

Having played all Metroids and all GBA and DS Castlvanias I was wandering, what other good games for the DS use the same style? If it matters, I like the Metroids much better...

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PSX/Saturn)

`nuff said!

 

[EliteKill]

I meant games that are not Metroids or Castlvanias....

Ah OK, I thought because you said you`ve played all Castlevanias on GBA and DS I should recommend the very first and arguable the best Metroidvania

-Cave Story (PC/WiiWare)
-Scurge: Hive (DS)
-Spiderman Web of Shadows (very light...) (DS)

Hmm, I can`t remember more...

Aliens in The Attic is kinda like a 2D Metroid....for DS.

 

[EliteKill]

Thanks. Any more for the DS?

Castlevania is much more fun than Metroid to my opinion.

Ive never been a metroid fan but ive been playing them one by one latley. In order i just finished symphony of the night and i have to say.... Every single casltevania ive played so far, except this one... sucks... I dont get the attraction this series has, its boring, it has absolutley no atmosphere whatsoever.... Im so friggen bored while playing these games that i wish i never decided to play them.

Symphony of the night did it right, but ive played the GBA/DS ones now and i have to say there pretty fin boring.

Oh well this isnt a castlevanmialove/hate thread but hey.... Metroid will always be better in my opinion.

As for metroidvania games they all pretty much suck compared to the main 2. :\

Wow, I felt the exact opposite. For example when climbing the condemned tower in DoS I had goosebumbs!

Spoiler

The music in that part is simply amazing and you climb the tower with that melodic, melancholic music and you have finally made it to the top to fight an enormous boss til it destroys the ground and you fight with it in the air til the bottom of the tower. Most epic!!!

But I know these kind of games are not for everyone. I love to backtrack and some people hate it...

What about Barnyard Blast? It is a suprisingly good title from a crap studio. Ask Thordrian about it.

Man, the castlevania games on the gba and the ds are the best castlevania games ever made. And I think they keep getting better! Order of Ecclesia ruled my life for almost 2 weeks straight.
